Imagine if someone made a film about murderous Vodoun practitioners? Or used a Native American ceremony as the basis for a fictional ceremony in a horror movie, in which the celebrants are killers? That wouldn't fly, it wouldn't even get financed.
Yet this film uses far more endangered traditional cultural rites, rites now only celebrated by a very small number of people, and associates them with murder. Why is that okay?

stop being offended on other people's behalf
Good thing we worship a rabbi instead
>Lovecraft is considered a virulent racist for including freaky native voodoo shit in his stories

Makes me... kinda think...
take a guess
>Or used a Native American ceremony as the basis for a fictional ceremony in a horror movie, in which the celebrants are killers?
Well there was Bone Tomahawk, which was pretty brutal.
>endangered
Everyone in Sweden, including newly arrived rapefugees, celebrate midsummer to its full extent. The tradition has survived for millenias and is healthier than ever.
t. Foreigner living in Sweden and celebrating midsummer
>Why is that okay?
Because the guy who made it is a jew who's trying to poison European culture.
>murderous Vodoun practitioners
you summerpleb obviously haven't seen the serpent and the rainbow.
also, your just a 19 year old angry white male summerpleb trying to act all offended and post a poorly disguised /pol/ indignation thread. fuck you little summer shitheads op.
>its not American
nobody cares dude.

What are your plans fellow nordicks? I'm going to a cabin by a lake with a group of friends.
Bone Tomahawk was a documentary about washed up celebrities visiting an Indian casino.
>A movie made before I myself was born means that everything's fine and dandy in 2019!
I see you've never seen The Wicker Man. Shame on you OP.
>A movie made before I myself was born means that everything's fine and dandy in 2019!
I'm so disconnected from people that I don't even keep track of these things any more. I'd definitely hang out by a lake or the sea if I hadn't lost contact with all my old friends, though.
end your life normalfag
>not born in 2006
You know what that makes you, right?
No tears, only dreams now.

There's Apostle, which is somewhat similar.
The remake bears no relation to any intelligible folk tradition, while Aster's film is simply race libel.
Help me, I am being oppressed
I am going to be offended by a movie I haven't even seen.

U wot? People still want to make midsommar our national day, because nobody gives a shit about the national day but everyone cares about midsommar. It's nothing like voodoo practitioners or some obscure native american ritual that's so obscure that we even say "native american", rather than the name of the tribe the ritual belongs to. Because there's so fucking few of them.
that makes the movie even more offensive
wanna see offensive? Heh...
*pulls out axe*
Literally weren't Indians
based christians
cringe pagans
I'm sort of in the same situation. We used to throw an annual lan party between christmas and new years where everyone would get together but that hasn't happened for a few years. Midsummer is the last get together we have now.
I might get drunk and drown so there's that i guess.
Good man.
Why don't they make a movie about this?

>some obscure native american ritual that's so obscure that we even say "native american"
We don't say "native american" because the individual tribes are obscure, we say "native american" because we don't give a shit about their cultures.
>Imagine if someone made a film about murderous Vodoun practitioners
That's already a trope.
Fuck, I can relate. Except in my case I pushed them all away even when they tried to hang out with me.
Why lie, zoomer? Nobody has dared portray them that way for over thirty years.
>endangered traditional cultural rites
Yeah no, it's all good, midsommar ain't going nowhere. We swedes will drink snaps and eat rotten fish until the end of days
Sure kid
Oh I did that, back when I was still in school. When they were practically begging me to come to a party I thought they were just humouring me or trying to trick me somehow. I'm sure they all think I was the asshole who stopped liking them. Now it's ten years later and those work-friends I was hoping for never materialised, leaving me with no friends to go to places with and therefore no way to make new friends because going to the club alone is too much.
If even the christians with literally 1000+ years of attempted brainwashing can't get rid of the nordic traditions, do you really think a shitty movie will..?
Modern Norse Paganism is basically larping anyway and heavily reconstructed with modern inventions to fill in the gaps
It's basically like Wiccan for neckbeards
Midsommar isn't Asatru faggotry, bro. The traditions have been passed down regularly and changed over time, not been reconstructed and changed like the asatru faggots did because they don't want to actually sacrifice a bunch of animals or a human to Odin.
>Voodoo
White Zombie
Live And Let Die
>Injun shit
Pet Sematary
Poltergeist
Ravenous
>Christkikery isn't larping
Voodoo shenanigans are such a ubiquitous trope that a witch doctor was the villain for a Disney princess film.
I was dealing with really bad OCD and depression, I was so consumed with my mental shit that I ended up pushing them away. I also don't have a driver's license because I was afraid that my OCD would fuck with me while driving. Shit sucks, but at least I've gotten my OCD more under control. I know how you feel though, I don't know where to go to make friends at this point.
>That wouldn't fly
Except for the hundreds that have literally been made about that shit.
But one little white pagan shit gets portrayed as evil and in comes Mr. Wyatt American who can trace his family history all the way back to his grandfather to bitch about it. Isn't it about time you gave your DNA to some jews so they can tell you all the European/Asian/Isreali DNA your mutt makeup consists of
>Voodoo is so benign in the public imagination that a witch doctor was the villain in a U-rated movie.
Correct, way to prove OP's point.
>far more endangered traditional cultural rites, rites now only celebrated by a very small number of people
I'm Swedish and this is just false. Midsummer rivals even Christmas as the most important holiday here.
Maybe amongst white people. In the Black community, especially amongst Caribbean immigrants, magic is taken deadly serious.
This just proves that Hollywood doesn't care about the cultures they try to sell. They just care that there's a profit to be made.
It's a movie
It's fake
It's more offensive that it's just another shit ripoff of ritual and the wicker man, after fucking darklands and the amerishart remake and get out
>Midsommar is an upcoming 2019 American folk horror film written and directed by Ari Aster.
>Aster was born in New York City. His father was a musician and his mother was a poet and he has a younger brother.[2] His family is Jewish.[3]
>Voodoo is a dangerous, serious phenomenon that Hollywood deliberately sanitizes.
That's OP's entire point. Why do you keep rephrasing OP's point but reacting as if you disagree with it?
I have sex and I don't care
I think the point he's making is that there are 10 million Swedes and billions of voodoo dark negroes. Those traditions ARE endangered.
You're quoting things that were never said friend. Voodoo is nonsense, but some people are afraid of it nonetheless.
OP's point is that Hollywood wouldn't utilize the culture of people of color due to it being unacceptable, but will use the culture of Scandinavians although by their logic, that should be off limits too. There's nothing of white-washing in the post.
I just pointed out OP was wrong in his very first assertion.
There's 60 million voodoo followers
Just a reminder that this dude’s first movie was a short film about a nigger son who has been molesting his dad.
Negroes are a superstitious and cowardly lot. Where you find dark skin, you can be sure you've found a believer in the power of chicken bones. It's billions.
because is anti-white, that's why you dummy
its supposed to be a really remote cult village not your average swedecuck no need to be offended
Ever hear of ancient native american burial grounds?
>Or used a Native American ceremony as the basis for a fictional ceremony in a horror movie,
Isn't that 99% of American horror movies?
"Oh noes we are living above an ancient Amerindian burial site, it is haunted oh noes"
You incels are so fucking sensitive
The only people that are offended are "muh heritage" obsessed Americans in desperate need of an identity, like always.
If you had we’d you’d be less angsty and easily offended
No one cares about scandis unless they’re Finnish
Grow thicker skin snowflake
Wasn't somebody adapting Mountains of Madness recently, by the way? What happened with that
Lucy Boynton was far too distracting.
Went mad probably
>You're only outnumbered six to one!
>In some parts of their range (e.g., California), the woodpeckers create granaries or "acorn trees" by drilling holes in dead trees, dead branches, telephone poles, and wooden buildings. They also drill holes in the thick bark of mature living trees, notably the Ponderosa Pine in California. These holes, always above the snow line so that the acorns can be retrieved in winter, can be observed in the hundreds on large trees. They do not harm the tree. The woodpeckers then collect acorns and find a hole that is just the right size for the acorn. As acorns dry out, they are moved to smaller holes and granary maintenance requires a significant amount of the bird's time.
Well I'll be damned. A woodpecker storing acorns in trees. If someone had told me about them at the pub I'd have called them a liar or a fool.
